"The 9/11 terror attacks forever changed our country and the entire world. The bravery and courage shown by members of our military, law enforcement, and first responders on that fateful day demonstrated our nation's great strength and perseverance.  "Today, 21 years later, we look back and remember the sadness and difficulties our country has faced in the fight to preserve and fortify freedom. We honor the legacy of the fallen and stand united against the continued threats to our nation. God bless our troops, the families of our fallen heroes, and the United States of America."

“President Biden’s decision to cancel $300 billion in student loans is unconstitutional and will make inflation worse. Instead of curtailing runaway higher education costs and holding those who have taken out student loans accountable, the President is instead turning to the 87% of hard-working Americans who either sacrificed to pay off their loan debt or didn’t take out any student loans in the first place to pay for someone else’s debt. This is grossly unfair. Above all, President Biden’s student loan scam is an illegal use of executive authority and will be subject to legal challenge.

Congressman Doug Lamborn, who represents Colorado’s 5th District, tweeted out his response: “Biden’s debt cancellation announcement is a reckless political stunt that will make inflation worse. Instead of curtailing runaway higher education costs, hardworking Americans who sacrificed to pay for college or chose skilled trades will now be forced to pay off others’ debt.”

The Air Force is expected to decide where to locate the permanent headquarters of U.S. Space Command before the end of the year, based largely on national security and cost concerns — criteria that favor keeping it at its provisional home at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, rather than moving the entire operation to Alabama, U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn's office said Tuesday.

"I was glad to commemorate this momentous occasion with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado. Over the past 35 years, the Ronald McDonald House of Southern Colorado has served nearly 12,000 families of critically ill children from around the nation receiving treatment in Southern Colorado. "Congratulations to Beth, Sara, the wonderful staff and volunteers, and past and present board members for their tireless, godly work making the Pikes Peak region a better place for children and families to live."

Responsive space capabilities must be accompanied by launch options that provide the right lift capacities with flexibility, as well as the rapid ability to respond with life-extending satellite servicing and maintenance. Critically, we must also achieve cost-effective solutions to move from requirement to operational acceptance. The complexity of responsive space extends beyond launch operations and funding efforts, and involves agile commercial integration of emerging capabilities and ready reserves of satellites to cover attrition and degradation. I am continuing to push for a better understanding of what the Space Force is doing to incorporate cost-effective commercial solutions. As I have communicated to Lt. Gen. Michael Guetlein, commander of Space Systems Command, the Space Force needs to provide contracting methods, leasing agreements, and Indefeasible Right of Use agreements for responsive satellite communications. These provide our military and government options to be innovative, timely, and effective when information matters most.  This year, I also proposed legislation focused on improving the resiliency of our architecture by building a responsive space architecture, but not at the risk of being irresponsible.

“Democrats refuse to address the fact that we are heading into a recession because of their continued reckless and anti-American spending habits. This $472 billion socialist scheme doubles down on failed policies while pushing America deeper into a recession and making life even more unaffordable for Americans during a record-high inflation crisis. Instead of prioritizing the American people, Washington Democrats want to empower an army of IRS agents to harass Americans and small businesses, force socialist price controls on drugs that will cost lives, and waste billions of dollars in Green New Deal slush funds, further hindering American energy production. I will never vote for legislation that unjustly burdens the American people and weaponizes the federal government against them.”

"With a heavy heart, I join all of Colorado in mourning El Paso County Sheriff Deputy Andrew Peery's tragic death. The six-year veteran and SWAT team member made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty last night in Widefield, Colorado. "I ask that you join me in prayer for Deputy Peery's family, our law enforcement officers, and their Families. "We will always stand with The Thin Blue Line."

“The comments by Mr. Kothari validate the deepest concern that allies of Israel have shared since the United Nations Human Rights Council initiated its disgraceful and never-ending investigation of Israel,” said Congressman Lamborn. “An individual who is fundamentally biased against Israel and the Jewish people has no right serving in a position of authority over an already outrageous commission. The United States should insist that Mr. Kothari be removed from the COI into Israel immediately, and work with like-minded nations to counteract the harmful work being done by the UNHRC until its mandate is justly brought to an end.”

“It is alarming that House Democrats continue their mission of fearmongering and disseminating misinformation to the American people. This legislation is blatantly unconstitutional and targets the standard types of firearms that American citizens most often choose to defend their homes, families, and property. The Democrats' disdain for our constitution and the rule of law insults the American people and our way of life. I strongly oppose H.R. 1808 and I will never stop defending our constitution, including a person's inalienable right to bear arms. If Democrats were serious about preventing gun violence, they would secure our border and go after criminals, not responsible, safe, and legal gun owners.”
